Yes, I said I was going to scale back to maybe even nothing. But, this is just not going to happen. I love peppers, love growing them, watching other people grow them, developing new crosses, eating them, talking about them, and yes, I even enjoy some drama from time to time

Here's my tentative grow list for 2016:

C. annuum
Chiltepin x C. galapagoense
Brown Chiltepin
Yellow Chiltepin
Chiltepin Tarahumara
[[Chiltepin x Chintexle] x C. galapagoense] x Negro de Valle

I started getting really into growing different kinds of plants when I was in between jobs (right around 2008) and eventually fell into growing almost exclusively hot peppers. Part of what kept me going was the community on THP. I really enjoyed learning, keeping up with what everyone was doing, sharing seeds, seeing progress, and so on. Originally, I started off growing a purple ornamental pepper, then in 2010 had my first bhut/naga-type pepper and fell in love right away. 
 
Since then I've grown many superhots, ornamentals, wilds and have made a bunch of crosses. In 2011 I got my basic growing technique down and made my first crosses. In 2012 I grew over 60 different varieties and continued making crosses. In 2013 I started fewer varieties and brought some overwinters from 2012 to fruit. I also grew out and made a few new crosses in 2013.
 
In 2014 I grew mostly bhut/naga types. I also had a few overwinters and a special cross I'm working on :cool:

.
 
In 2015 I focused again on bhuts plus a select few seven pod varieties (Moruga & Douglah).
 
In 2016 I continued with my focus on Bhuts and a handful of my unique crosses.
 
In 2017 and 2018 I narrowed down my grow to fewer plants, focusing on a particular bhut cross I developed as well as a few C. galapagoense plants and crosses.
 
In 2019 I didn't grow much, but I did grow a CGN 17020 bird pepper type just as something to have around.
 
In 2020 I'll pick up where I left off in 2018 and continue to refine my own special cross I've nicknamed "my precious" (LOTR reference) and some others. I'll start a glog soon (updated Nov 14, 2019).
